본 논문은 HEVC RExt (High Efficiency Video Coding Range Extension)을 위한 SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) 명령어 기반의 고속 복호화 방법을 소개한다. RExt의 화면 내 예측, 보간필터, 역-양자화, 역-변환, 클리핑 모듈들은 반복적인 산술 연산 혹은 논리 연산을 수행하는 구조로써 SIMD 명령어 집합을 적용하기 적합한 모듈로 분류할 수 있다. 본 논문은 RExt의 증가한 비트 심도를 고려하여 화면 내 예측, 보간필터, 역-양자화, 역-변환, 클리핑 모듈을 SSE (Streaming SIMD Extension) 명령어 집합을 이용하여 연산하는 방법을 소개한다. 또한, 256비트 레지스터를 사용할 수 있는 AVX2 (Advanced Vector eXtension 2) 명령어 집합을 이용하여 보간필터, 역-양자화, 클리핑 모듈의 연산을 효율적으로 연산하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 SIMD 명령어 기반의 고속 복호화 방법은 HEVC 참조 소프트웨어 HM 16.0을 기반으로 자체 개발한 HEVC RExt 복호화기에서 기존의 순차적 연산 방식 대비 평균 12%의 속도향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

High Efficiency Video Coding range extensions (HEVC RExt) is a kind of extension model of HEVC. HEVC RExt was specially designed for dealing the high quality images. HEVC RExt is very essential for studio editing which handle the very high quality and various type of images. There are some problems to dealing these massive data in studio editing. One of the most important procedure is re-encoding and decoding procedure during the editing. Various codecs are widely used for studio data editing. But most of the codecs have common problems to dealing the massive data in studio editing. First, the re-encoding and decoding processes are frequently occurred during the studio data editing and it brings enormous time-consuming and video quality loss. This paper, we suggest new video coding structure for the efficient studio video editing. The coding structure which is called "ultra-low delay (ULD)". It has the very simple and low-delayed referencing structure. To simplify the referencing structure, we can minimize the number of the frames which need decoding and re-encoding process. It also prevents the quality degradation caused by the frequent re-encoding. Various fast coding algorithms are also proposed for efficient editing such as tool-level optimization, multi-serve based distributed coding and SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) based parallel processing. It can reduce the enormous computational complexity during the editing procedure. The proposed method shows 9500 times faster coding speed with negligible loss of quality. The proposed method also shows better coding gain compare to "intra only" structure. We can confirm that the proposed method can solve the existing problems of the studio video editing efficiently.
